Lyrics Soldier in the Rain - John Ford Coley

Soldier in the Rain

The morning clouds are gathering around
As I stand on the bridge of the river
Years have gone since I was here
And I wonder how I differ
Taxi cabs keep rolling by
And a blind man asks for change
And here I stand a soldier in the rain.
Coming home was all I thought of …
Seeing my family and friends
They say love knows no distance
But the longing never ends
And all along the dreams I possessed
My heart never were to plain
And here I stand a soldier in the rain
I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands
I remember years ago
I had so many plans
And now I watch the river flow
Time has brought me here
With empty hands
The morning clouds are gathering around
And the streets are full of reflections
A traffic light and the moon still bright
People going in different directions
I’ve thought about why I’m here
Its just too hard to explain
And here I stand a soldier in the rain
In the rain…
